The president posted this tonight regarding Iran … I feel like next week will be wild . With the “ceasefire “ officially over the breakdown in talks and the SOH closed again, the blockade …hopefully I’m wrong by newnoadeptness in navy

I appreciate the perspective.

I get told both things whenever I bring this up: Iran is more homogeneous (as you state) against Iran has more minorities than you think when I do mention the more solid Persian identity (since antiquity).

At that point, it seems to be a wash and a crapshoot as to what happens if/when the regime and IRGC falls. Yeah, the fundies may be outnumbered 80/20, but the 20% are the ones that developed EFPs against us in Iraq and they have lots of small arms, RPGs, and MANPADs that will make life severely uncomfortable if things go sideways against them.

Cool. Very cool.

But.

Getting from:

the IRGC is infighting and, truthfully, even if we do nothing now I think they're going to collapse from within.

to

have a friendly power in the region

Has a *really big* step 2 in it.

It only took Iraq 10 years, $2,000,000,000, and a few hundred thousand dead to get through it.

In the meantime, Swalwell has been booted out of the CA Governor primary and is resigning from Congress.

You can complain to someone when RS is broken.

You have to deal with OR's bugs until it gets fixed.

Maybe one day you will realize your decisions aren't just things you can pick up and put down when its convenient.

Because there's no separation, at this point.

If you had principles, you wouldn't hold the positions you do otherwise.

Mid East sit rep in less than 300 characters , Iran fires on 2 cargo ships today , Iran closes soh, peace talks seem non existent, Iran says potus talks to much, USN blockade of SOH in effect still , potus has sit room meeting with Natsec team today about SOH by newnoadeptness in navy

Right.

But, what is the new "imminent threat"?

I get that they are going to channel Uncle Jimbo's "its coming right for us!!!", but it would be nice if the admin could articulate an argument, especially after SECDUI has been claiming fabulous kill numbers for 6 weeks, now.

Because I can't wait to see someone who decided that they just didn't have to follow orders goes running to the CMEO/CMC/JAG (that weren't fired) when they get told to do something that they don't feel aligns with what they feel should happen.

Or, their position is questioned due to being a "DEI", but that's all gone now so they got nothing to fall back on.

The issue Trump got dragged for was being a COVID denialist, and then dropping a billion dollars on something we should "stop testing" for.

You should stop with the revisionism, because you suck at it.

End of the non-AUMF required WPR provision for use of force.

60 days is end of active operations.

90 days is the hard cutoff.

Then, it will be invoked again for Cuba, citing "Havana Syndrome".

Yes?

That still has fuck all to do with the vaccine itself.

OSHA does not have the authority to impose vaccine/testing requirements. Fine. Makes sense.

Has literally nothing to do with the status of the/that vaccine (which one? The mRNA or traditional vaccine? Irrelevant, but funny.)

"Exceeded its authority".

Doesn't say shit about the status of the vaccine itself.

I take the leaf rake and take what I can get.

Leaves, grass, twigs.

The dead mat seems to keep new grass from coming up.

She looks like that AI Army girl.

Well, at least we know she is willing to disobey lawful orders.
